(WIC) eligible foods that have been
authorized or approved by WIC State

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: The WIC National Universal
Product Code (NUPC) database.
OMB Number: To be assigned.
Expiration Date: To be determined.
Type of Request: New information
collection.
Abstract: The mandated NUPC
database will serve as a repository of
Universal Product Codes pertaining to
WIC Program foods. The database will
be accessible on a voluntary basis to
both food manufacturers and WIC
Program State agencies. It will provide
a standardized format for manufacturers
to electronically submit product
information for consideration for
inclusion in WIC State agency
authorized food lists. The system will
automatically screen products entered
by manufacturers for compliance with
minimum Federal regulatory
requirements. State agencies will be able
to review and select for approval those
products that have successfully been
screened. Each WIC State agency’s list
of approved foods will be available via
the NUPC database. The database will
initially be populated with product
information that is available from the
WIC State agencies currently operating
an Electronic Benefits Transfer system.
We assume this will provide product
information for the majority of foods
27SEN1
 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 187 / Thursday, September 27, 2007 / Notices
that are currently authorized by WIC
State agencies.
Comments are being solicited on
whether the NUPC will decrease the
burden on WIC State agencies and
manufacturers by providing a uniform
data source for submitting products for
WIC review and eligibility. The burden
hours associated with this collection
burden will be for updates to existing
products and the addition of new
products as they become available and
authorized. We estimate that for this
burden reporting period, 1,000
manufacturers will spend a total of 125
burden hours to report new product
information and update existing product
information when necessary; 20 State
agencies (40 users) will spend a total of
5 burden hours to report new product
information, update existing product
information, and, upload/download
products to their State agency approved
list, and 2 Federal users will spend a
total of 1⁄2 hour to report new infant
formula product information and update
formula product information when
necessary. The total number of burden
hours for this reporting period is 130.50
hours.
Affected Public: Manufacturers, WIC
State agencies, and Federal government.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
1,022.
Number of Responses per
Respondent: 2.
Estimated Total Annual Responses:
2,044.
Hours per Response: 0.063.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 131.

ACTION: Revision, notice of intent to
prepare an environmental impact
statement.
SUMMARY: The Forest Service is
processing an application for a special
use authorization from Deerfield Wind,
LLC for the installation and operation of
wind turbines on National Forest
rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with NOTICES
System (NFS) lands managed by the
Green Mountain National Forest
(GMNF). This notice revises the
‘‘responsible official’’, updates the
expected dates for the release of the EIS,
VerDate Aug<31>2005 16:40 Sep 26, 2007 Jkt 211001
makes minor modifications to certain
parts of the proposed action, and asks
for comments on those modifications.
DATES: Comments concerning the scope
of the analysis, specifically in regard to
the modifications to the original
proposed action, should be received by
October 19, 2007. The draft
environmental impact statement is now
expected in January 2008 and the final
environmental impact statement is
expected in July 2008.
ADDRESSES: Send written comments to

mail: rbayer@fs.fed.us.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
original notice of intent to prepare the
Deerfield Wind Project EIS was
published in the Federal Register on
July 15, 2005 (Vol. 70, No. 135, page
409750). Revisions are as noted here.
The responsible official is now Meg
Mitchell, Forest Supervisor, Green
Mountain and Finger Lakes National
Forest. The expected dates for the
release of the EIS is as noted above. The
proposed action has been clarified as
follows.
Modifications to the Proposed Action
The Deerfield Wind Project is now
proposed to consist of 17 wind turbines
with a rotor size of 87 or 88 meters in
diameter for a total turbine height from
ground to the top of the blade tip at
about 400 to 410 feet and a name plate
power rating of 2.0 or 2.1 megawatts
(MW), depending upon which model of
turbine is selected. The original notice
proposed 20 to 30 turbines
approximating 340–370 feet in height
with a power rating of between 1.5 to
2.0 MW per turbine. The site will now
be capable of producing 34 or 35.7 MW
whereas the original proposal called for
a site capacity of 30 to 45 MW of
electricity. Access to the western project
area will be from the north along a
private road known as the Putnam Road,
and will extend westerly onto Forest
Service land, rather than from the south
end of the project site as originally
proposed. A storage and maintenance
building and a new substation will be
sited along the northern access road. An
alternative to connect to an existing
Green Mountain Power Company
substation on private land on the east
side of Route 8 is no longer feasible due
to capacity issues.
